The international challenge didn't have the same strength as it had in most recent seasons, certainly nothing of Black Caviar's quality in there this time around, and overall it was a renewal of the Diamond Jubilee that lacked real strength in depth, the bare performances of all of those behind the first 4 useful at best; nevertheless, it was won with a high-class effort by Lethal Force, who is an up-and-comer on the top sprinting scene, and the next 3 home are all previous Group 1 winners; the winner made all but it was an evenly-run affair, race position not having a major bearing on the result, though track position perhaps did more so, with the main action unfolding towards the stand side of the pack.
